045 Bargain

On the dining table at home, a negotiation between father and son began.

Zuo Rong and Zuo Zijian sat on both sides of the dining table, facing each other, while a piece of paper was pressed on the table.

Father: "You said on the phone just now that the transcript has come down... show it to me."

Zuo Rong pointed to the paper on the table.

My father picked up this transcript and saw the scores and rankings on it, and his pupils shrank.

Zuo Rong curled the corner of his mouth on his right, and a smile of Zhizhu holding: "This achievement is worth a little more pocket money, right?"

My father took a deep breath, quickly suppressed the smile that should have appeared on his face, and calmly thought.

After a while, he thought carefully: "Pocket money may distract you and make you fall back on your next exam. From my perspective, do you think I should give you a lot of money?"

Zuo Rong: "If the pocket money doesn't increase at all, it means that the reward and punishment mechanism in the grades has expired. I may not have much motivation for the next exam. So from my perspective, do you think it is appropriate not to increase the pocket money?"

The father and son looked at each other.

Zuo Rong wrapped his hands in front of his chest, the smile on his face gradually calmed down, and his eyes became calmer. He blinked, his eyes filled with calmness.

My father supported his elbows on the table, his fingers crossed his face in front of his jaw, and accidentally posed in Commander Ikari's classic pose.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Then I can give you a little pocket money. It was originally one hundred per month, but now what? How much do you want?"

Zuo Rong smiled slightly: "How much can you give?"

Father: "The question is, what do you want to do with the money?"

Zuo Rong: "Buy cat food."

My father couldn't help but be stunned.

Zuo Rong observed the expression of the man in front of him, secretly guessing that he might have hit the bull's eye, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue:

"I heard that the Ragdoll cat is very cute. Although this one in our family is not very picky in food, it is also very troublesome. Cat litter and other things cost money. You don't care, but I'm paying for the money."

The father immediately replied: "In the future, when you buy pet supplies, you need an invoice and ask me to reimburse me. Are there any other problems?"

Zuo Rong squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a little tricky.

Duna actually doesn't consume cat litter at all at home, and the little bit she bought at the beginning has never been useful. Besides, how much money can that little bit of cat litter and cat food cost? What he wants is the disposable quota that can be used to buy more things.

So Zuo Rong said again: "I still need some consumption to please myself, such as buying drinks, improving food, etc. The winter vacation is coming, and you have less time at home, so I can't eat instant noodles all day, right?"

Father: "Did your school have no tutoring arrangements during the winter vacation?"

Zuo Rong: "That must be true, but it's different from normal schooling. There are only a few classes a day and there are no evening self-study."

The father pondered for a while and said, "Then, double the pocket money, 200 yuan a month, what do you think?"

Zuo Rong stretched out three fingers: "Three Hundred."

Father: "Two hundred and five."

Zuo Rong: "This number doesn't sound very nice, how about 29?"

Father: "Two hundred and eight, one-small price."

Zuo Rong: "Trade!"

———

After getting 280 yuan in pocket money from his father, Zuo Rong came to the study and saw Du Na sitting in front of the desk.

There is a display screen on the table in the study, and under the table is a computer host. However, since the battle with Kremans, the host has been completely scrapped, and the display has never been turned on again.

However, at this time, the display screen is lit, and the windows desktop is showing.

Duna is also in a girl with white dress and white hair. She holds the mouse on her phone and is staring at the display screen in a daze.

Zuo Rong hurriedly closed the door of the study: "Have you changed into a new computer?"

Duna half turned around and nodded.

Zuo Rong: "Where did the new computer come from?"

Duna said calmly: "My mother bought it."

Zuo Rong: "She used the salary of the cat cafe?"

Duna shook her head slightly: "Your father gave my mother the salary card, so..."

Zuo Rong's face froze. For a few dozen dollars, bargaining with his father was just a scene that happened not long ago, but Aunt Du directly received the salary card of this stinky man? Should this be said to be the treatment of his biological son?

Duna explained again: "But my mother won't spend money randomly. She bought a second-hand computer, and it has a relatively old configuration. It's quite cheap, less than a thousand yuan."

"For me, a thousand yuan is already a huge sum of money..." Zuo Rong shook his head, "Forget it, it's a good thing to get the computer done, so we can start making videos."

Duna shook her head again.

Zuo Rong: "Why, didn't you agree before?"

The girl asked calmly: "Your results at the end of the period should be pretty good, right?"

Zuo Rong couldn't help laughing: "It's OK..."

Duna interrupted, "So, my tutoring comes in handy! Your mobile phone borrowing right is my tutoring fee. So, what about the reward for filming videos?"

Zuo Rong: "I only have a little pocket money now and can't pay much. But as long as we shoot videos and have the number of views, we can make money."

The girl used her hands to fiddle with her white hair in her ear and pondered for a moment.

She pondered and said, "The problem is here... Are you planning to make me a cat and shoot videos for you? How should the income from the video be divided?"

Zuo Rong: "I didn't think about how to shoot the video in detail. Now I'm going to discuss the account sharing, isn't it a little too early?"

But Duna shook her head firmly: "It's not early at all, let's negotiate now!"

Zuo Rong: "Then, let me think about it... three to seven points?"

The girl tilted her head and blinked her big eyes: "Three or seven percent, is it your 30% and I 70% mean?"

Zuo Rong: "You three and I seven."

Duna asked quietly: "Do you think this is the right way to divide it?"

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

Compared with the previous father-son negotiations, the negotiations at this time made Zuo Rong even more difficult. After all, when raising the price with his father, he could ask for conditions without hesitation.

But at this moment, facing this pitiful little face, he felt a little embarrassed...

After a while, Zuo Rong said, "Then it's half."

Duna put her pretty chin on her back with her fingers, thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded.

"Then let's just make a decision in half, just one word!"

After saying that, Duna stretched out her hand.

Zuo Rong was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand and held the girl's little hand.

"It's a pleasant cooperation..." Duna smiled, her slightly bent eyes with cute cunning.

Zuo Rong felt the warmth in his palm, and his face was calm and composed: "It's easy to do, just follow my arrangements."
